Nice piece - shame about the title...

[Panjandrum]

no idea how that occurred.

You're not related to the Captain of the Costa Concordia, by any chance?

No, since you ask - and in any case he does know what occurred to that vessel, so your reference to it seems rather odd.

Surely one of the most unweildy of titles for a composition has to be that of Diana Burrell, for her 1992 string orchestral piece, "Das Meer, das so gross unt weit ist, da wimmelt's ohne Zahl, grosse und kleine Tiere".

There probably are longer titles.......

There's another Diana Burrell work 'A Symphony of Herds, Flocks and Shoals' which would be rather fun to hear a presenter introducing after a few drinks, a fairly dire piece too.

Another work that comes to mind is: Ad Majorem Gloriam Universitatis Illinorum (Symphonic Tone Poem) by Roy Harris, composed for band it is actually one of Harris's better efforts in the medium.
